Twice since July 2022, Moninder Singh, spokesperson for a Sikh advocacy group in Canada's British Columbia province, has had police come to his door in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey.

Twice, Singh said, they warned him that he faced an imminent risk of assassination, though they did not say from whom.

These warnings prompted the 43-year-old Canadian to stay away from his home for months at a time — away from his wife and children, ages 15 and 11.
